This is a scan of an original kodachrome slide. It was scanned with an Epson Pro V750, and finished up with very minor post processing work in Photoshop. The default size of this image is 2000x1250 pixels.

The original comes from my own slide collection, which contains both my own photos and those acquired over the past forty or so years collecting.
I began uploading photos into this Flickr photostream to create a home for the slides that have been part of my collection. They deserve to be enjoyed by the aircraft enthusiast community as a whole rather than being tucked away in boxes and binders. Think of it like an old time aircraft slide show but for the 21st century.
Comments are welcome.

The above image is a scan from an original Kodachromeâ„¢ slide. The default size is 2000 x 1250 pixels, so clicking on the photo will enlarge it for better viewing.
The original image comes from my slide collection, amassed over the past 40+ years. They are a combination of my own photographs and ones acquired over those years.
I created this Photostream in 2017 for the purpose of holding my slide collection as an archive, as otherwise they would just remain in binders and boxes, not being enjoyed by anyone, myself included.

50 Years of FedEx and this was the fleet type that started it all. From Aviaition Week Network
by Brian Bostick in Things With Wings August 13, 2015
"N9FE, one of FedEx's original Falcon 20s, is still "flying" inside FedEx's Greenway Aviation Training Center on the grounds of their Memphis World Hub sorting facility. Recent photos provided to Aviation Week show the aircraft still quietly but proudly on display, suspended from the ceiling along with a Falcon cockpit section underneath.
Aviation Week Intelligence Network's Fleet database shows that this aircraft, bearing serial no. 84, first flew on April 27, 1967, and was used by LTV Aerospace Corporation until being purchased by FedEx on March 6, 1972. Originally registered N1FE, it flew for FedEx from the beginning of its operations in 1973 until the type was withdrawn from service by early 1984, at which point it was placed in storage in Marana, Ariz. It was moved to Memphis in 1985 and re-registered N9FE before being restored by volunteer employees and put on permanent display.
While N1FE/N9FE is technically the first aircraft purchased by FedEx according to Aviation Week Intelligence Network's Fleet database, N8FE has the honor of being the first to be handed over to FedEx after freighter conversion and enter service. That aircraft is currently on public display at the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum, inside their Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center outside Washington D.C.
The Falcon 20 was instrumental in getting FedEx through its formative years and was the only aircraft they operated until larger 727s began arriving in 1978. By 1985, after a fleet of 727s and DC-10s had been established, 30 of their Falcons had been sold to other operators while the remaining two were saved for preservation."
